在一实施例中,控制主机14可检测超声波扫描装置13的第二实体动作。例如,超声波扫描装置13的传感器42可根据第二实体动作产生第二惯性测量信号。超声波扫描装置13的处理器45可经由通信接口41将第二惯性测量信号传送至控制主机14。控制主机14的处理器23可经由通信接口21接收第二惯性测量信号并分析第二惯性测量信号以获得与第二实体动作有关的信息。In one embodiment, the control host 14 can detect the second physical action of the ultrasonic scanning device 13 . For example, the sensor 42 of the ultrasonic scanning device 13 may generate a second inertial measurement signal according to the second entity motion. The processor 45 of the ultrasonic scanning device 13 may transmit the second inertial measurement signal to the control host 14 via the communication interface 41 . The processor 23 of the control host 14 may receive the second inertial measurement signal via the communication interface 21 and analyze the second inertial measurement signal to obtain information related to the movement of the second entity.

在一实施例中,控制主机14可比较第一实体动作与第二实体动作以获得第一实体动作与第二实体动作之间的差异。此差异可反映在手持导引装置11执行第一实体动作时的移动轨迹以及超声波扫描装置13执行第二实体动作时的移动轨迹上。详细来说,手持导引装置11根据第一实体动作产生第一惯性测量信号,并将第一惯性测量信号传送至控制主机14,超声波扫描装置13根据第二实体动作产生第二惯性测量信号,并将第二惯性测量信号传送至控制主机14,因此控制主机14可根据第一惯性测量信号与第二惯性测量信号来判断第一实体动作与第二实体动作之间的差异是否符合一警示条件。响应于第一实体动作与第二实体动作之间的差异符合警示条件,控制主机14可指示提示装置15输出警示信息。此外,若第一实体动作与第二实体动作之间的差异不符合警示条件,表示此差异在可容许的操作误差范围内,控制主机14可不指示提示装置15输出警示信息。In one embodiment, the control host 14 may compare the first physical action with the second physical action to obtain the difference between the first physical action and the second physical action. This difference can be reflected in the movement trajectory of the handheld guiding device 11 when the first physical action is performed and the movement trajectory of the ultrasonic scanning device 13 when the second physical action is performed. Specifically, the handheld guiding device 11 generates a first inertial measurement signal according to the motion of the first entity, and transmits the first inertial measurement signal to the control host 14, and the ultrasonic scanning device 13 generates a second inertial measurement signal according to the motion of the second entity, and transmits the second inertial measurement signal to the control host 14, so the control host 14 can determine whether the difference between the first entity action and the second entity action conforms to a warning condition according to the first inertial measurement signal and the second inertial measurement signal . In response to the difference between the first entity action and the second entity action meeting the alert condition, the control host 14 may instruct the prompting device 15 to output alert information. In addition, if the difference between the first physical action and the second physical action does not meet the warning condition, it means that the difference is within the allowable operating error range, and the control host 14 may not instruct the prompting device 15 to output warning information.

在一实施例中,控制主机14的处理器23可比较手持导引装置11执行第一实体动作时的移动轨迹以及超声波扫描装置13执行第二实体动作时的移动轨迹。响应于手持导引装置11执行第一实体动作时的移动轨迹与超声波扫描装置13执行第二实体动作时的移动轨迹之间的差值超过一个容许值,处理器23可判定第一实体动作与第二实体动作之间的差异是否符合所述警示信息,并经由通信接口21发送一个指令讯息给提示装置15。根据此指令讯息,提示装置15可输出警示信息。In one embodiment, the processor 23 of the control host 14 can compare the movement trajectory of the handheld guiding device 11 when the first physical action is performed and the movement trajectory of the ultrasonic scanning device 13 when the second physical action is performed. In response to the difference between the movement trajectory of the hand-held guiding device 11 when the first physical action is performed and the movement trajectory of the ultrasonic scanning device 13 when the second physical movement is performed exceeds an allowable value, the processor 23 may determine that the first physical movement is the same as that of the first physical movement. Whether the difference between the actions of the second entity conforms to the warning information, and sends an instruction message to the prompting device 15 via the communication interface 21 . According to the instruction message, the prompting device 15 can output warning information.

在一实施例中,所述警示信息可经由提示装置15而呈现在显示器的显示画面上。在一实施例中,所述警示信息可经由提示装置15中的发声装置(例如扬声器或蜂鸣器)输出警示声和/或震动装置(例如震动器)进行震动。例如,所述发声装置和/或震动装置可设置在超声波扫描装置13上或独立于超声波扫描装置13之外。In one embodiment, the warning information can be presented on the display screen of the display via the prompting device 15 . In one embodiment, the warning information may be vibrated by a sounding device (such as a speaker or a buzzer) in the prompting device 15 to output a warning sound and/or a vibration device (such as a vibrator). For example, the sounding device and/or the vibrating device may be provided on the ultrasonic scanning device 13 or independently of the ultrasonic scanning device 13 .

在一实施例中,控制主机14可存储超声波扫描装置13所撷取的超声波影像102。例如,超声波影像102可存储在控制主机14的存储电路22中。然而,在一实施例中,响应于第一实体动作与第二实体动作之间的差异符合警示条件(例如手持导引装置11执行第一实体动作时的移动轨迹与超声波扫描装置13执行第二实体动作时的移动轨迹之间的差值超过所述容许值),控制主机14可舍弃存储当下来自超声波扫描装置13的超声波影像102。例如,当判定可舍弃超声波影像102时,控制主机14的处理器23可不将超声波影像102存储至存储电路22中或者将超声波影像102从存储电路22中删除。藉此,可避免在超声波扫描装置13的移动轨迹偏移预设轨迹(即手持导引装置11的移动轨迹)太远时,持续存储无用的超声波影像102而占据存储电路22的存储空间。In one embodiment, the control host 14 can store the ultrasonic image 102 captured by the ultrasonic scanning device 13 . For example, the ultrasound image 102 may be stored in the memory circuit 22 of the control host 14 . However, in one embodiment, the warning condition is met in response to the difference between the first physical action and the second physical action (for example, the movement trajectory when the handheld guiding device 11 performs the first physical action and the ultrasonic scanning device 13 performs the second physical action). When the difference between the movement trajectories of the entity exceeds the allowable value), the control host 14 can discard and store the current ultrasonic image 102 from the ultrasonic scanning device 13 . For example, when it is determined that the ultrasound image 102 can be discarded, the processor 23 of the control host 14 may not store the ultrasound image 102 in the storage circuit 22 or delete the ultrasound image 102 from the storage circuit 22 . In this way, when the moving trajectory of the ultrasonic scanning device 13 deviates too far from the preset trajectory (ie, the moving trajectory of the handheld guide device 11 ), the useless ultrasonic images 102 are continuously stored and occupy the storage space of the storage circuit 22 .

在一实施例中,响应于第一实体动作与第二实体动作之间的差异符合警示条件,控制主机14可指示提示装置15呈现导航修正信息。此导航修正信息适于修正超声波扫描装置13的移动轨迹。例如,此导航修正信息可呈现在提示装置15的显示器显示的画面中。例如,控制主机14的处理器23可经由通信接口21发送一个指令讯息给提示装置15。根据此指令讯息,提示装置15可输出此导航修正信息。In one embodiment, in response to the difference between the first entity action and the second entity action meeting the alert condition, the control host 14 may instruct the prompting device 15 to present the navigation correction information. This navigation correction information is suitable for correcting the movement trajectory of the ultrasonic scanning device 13 . For example, this navigation correction information may be presented in a screen displayed on the display of the prompting device 15 . For example, the processor 23 of the control host 14 can send an instruction message to the prompting device 15 via the communication interface 21 . According to the command message, the prompting device 15 can output the navigation correction information.

图5是根据本发明的实施例所示出的导航修正信息的示意图。请参照图5,在一实施例中,导航修正信息51可呈现在提示装置15所显示的画面中。导航修正信息51中可包含指向不同方向的方向性指标501~508。在一实施例中,此些方向性指标501~508的其中之一(例如方向性指标508)可改变视觉效果(例如变色、放大或闪烁),以明确告知超声波扫描装置13的操作者当前超声波扫描装置13的移动方向需要朝特定方向(例如指标508所指的方向)移动,以避免超声波扫描装置13持续朝错误的方向移动。FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of navigation correction information according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5 , in one embodiment, the navigation correction information 51 may be displayed on the screen displayed by the prompting device 15 . The navigation correction information 51 may include directional indicators 501 to 508 pointing in different directions. In one embodiment, one of the directionality indicators 501 to 508 (eg, the directionality indicator 508 ) can change the visual effect (eg, change color, magnify, or blink) to clearly inform the operator of the ultrasound scanning device 13 of the current ultrasound The moving direction of the scanning device 13 needs to be moved in a specific direction (eg, the direction indicated by the index 508 ), so as to prevent the ultrasonic scanning device 13 from continuously moving in the wrong direction.

在一实施例中,此导航修正信息也可经由光线103呈现。例如,光线103的颜色、亮度、闪烁频率等颜色或亮度特征可根据此导航修正信息而改变,以警示超声波扫描装置13的操作者超声波扫描装置13须朝特定方向移动或改变超声波扫描装置13的移动方向。In one embodiment, this navigation correction information can also be presented via light 103 . For example, the color or brightness characteristics of the light 103 such as the color, brightness, flickering frequency, etc., can be changed according to the navigation correction information, so as to warn the operator of the ultrasonic scanning device 13 that the ultrasonic scanning device 13 must move in a specific direction or change the direction of the ultrasonic scanning device 13 direction of movement.

在一实施例中,当手持导引装置61的操作者操作手持导引装置61执行第一实体动作,以通过本体601对软性材料层602进行下压而导致软性材料层602变形时,本体601可根据此第一实体动作将本体601内部的传感器产生的第一惯性测量信号传送至控制主机14。藉此,控制主机14可根据此第一惯性测量信号获得手持导引装置61执行第一实体动作时的移动轨迹(例如朝软性材料层602下压的距离、深度或倾斜角度)并产生相应的导航提示信息101。然后,控制主机14可藉由此导航提示信息101来引导超声波扫描装置13的操作者执行相似的下压或倾斜等第二实体动作。In one embodiment, when the operator of the hand-held guiding device 61 operates the hand-held guiding device 61 to perform the first physical action, so as to press down the soft material layer 602 through the body 601 to cause the soft material layer 602 to deform, The main body 601 can transmit the first inertial measurement signal generated by the sensor inside the main body 601 to the control host 14 according to the first physical action. In this way, the control host 14 can obtain the movement trajectory of the handheld guiding device 61 when performing the first physical action (for example, the distance, depth or inclination angle of pressing down toward the soft material layer 602 ) according to the first inertial measurement signal, and generate corresponding navigation prompt information 101.
